By today’s standards Optimus Prime would be a Deluxe-class figure (though the inclusion of the trailer would probably upgrade him to Voyager or Ultra), but at the time he was among the tallest Transformers of them all, as befits the Autobot leader.
Robot Mode: Considering that this figure has nearly three decades under its belt (the original Diaclone figure came out in 1981), it has stood the test of time very well. It’s been quite some time since then, though, so this Anniversary Prime gets a full review of his own. Prelude: This figure is, of course, a reissue of the original Optimus Prime figure, of which I’ve already reviewed the Commemorative Edition. If there is a victory to be won, it is Optimus Prime who will lead the Autobots to it. He became a warrior powerful enough to oppose even the unstoppable Megatron, motivated by the love of peace and honor he had learned in his study of the history of his world. Though before the war he had been a simple archivist, the power of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership transfigured him. He emerged like a savior from the darkest time of the war an unknown, chosen to lead, and granted the power and wisdom of every leader that had come before.
He is the ultimate warrior against the evil of Megatron, and the best hope Cybertron has of ever achieving peace. Optimus Prime is the greatest commander of the Autobots and the symbol of the best they have to offer - honor, compassion, justice. Throughout it all, only one robot stands like a bulwark against which the chaos breaks, and washes back. Millions of years of war have left much of the once beautiful machine world a jumbled chaos of shattered metal and melted slag.
